Hi there, I have done all three, and I love having the variety. I think STS is my overall favorite, and I'm doing xtrain now and loving that too. With that said, I got some nice results from Body Beast as well, especially in my shoulders and biceps where I was (and still am) looking for more...

Sending prayers and positive thoughts to you!

I might have to try this....even though I'll probaby hurt myself trying to dance like that. lol! It looks like fun.

I have this same issue! I just read a lower body workout suggestion from Adela Garcia in FitnessRX magazine. Here's what she wrote: walking lunges 4 x 30 each leg superset with 1 1/4 squats 4 x 20 (I'm not certain what a 1 1/4 squat is, but I'm guessing one full squat followed by a 1/4 dip...

I ordered it today as well! My e-mail said that it will ship within 24 hours, and I'll have it in 2-5 days. Thanks so much Fit 44 for the link to the reviews. I can't wait to get started!

Thanks so much! I wasn't sure how the instructor would be with it all geared toward men; in the promo it seemed like he was doing a lot of yelling and growling or something. :) But if you previewed and it looks good, I think I'll give it a try. I need to build my upper body strength and size...

Hi there, I don't typically post anything here, but enjoy reading through the threads. I wanted to ask some opinions of people here. I am looking to gain muscle in my upper body. When I saw beachbody was coming out with Body Beast, I was planning to purchase it. Now that I'm looking at the...

Oh, I was planning on doing this workout today with everyone here, but I ended up taking my two daughters and niece rollerskating and now I'm running out to meet a friend for dinner so I missed it! I'm going to try tomorrow but even if it doesn't happen, I always enjoy reading everyone else's...

Hi there! I'd like to join in as well. I will dedicate my workout to anyone and everyone who is dealing with loss or suffering in some way, as well as to a colleague of mine who I found out today is losing his long battle with cancer. It all puts things in perspective!! Thanks for letting...

Hi there! I am also a teacher in a public elementary school and our general rule is approximately 10 minutes per grade level as well, so 2nd grade students typically have about 20 minutes of homework per night - give or take a few minutes. I would definitely set up a meeting with the teacher...

Mine was a white ford Festiva I got when I was in college....it looked kind of like a rollerskate, but I loved it!

Hi Cathe: I just had to say a big thanks for helping me increase my strength. On New Year's Eve, around 10:30ish, my 96 year old aunt (who is my neighbor) called. Her 100 year old husband couldn't walk to the bedroom so I headed over there to get him to his room. I was able to move him...

This might not be what you're looking for, but for a less accurate measure could you just have a trainer use calipers to determine your %body fat and lean body mass index? It wouldn't be as accurate as underwater weighing, but it might be a place to start for the program you're using.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try some of the stretches suggested. The pain is not nearly as bad as it was a few days, but it's just so aggrevating that I can't really exercise because everything I do seems to just irritate it more. I guess I'll have to call the doctor if it...

Okay, I get this stiff neck, aching pain which I think originates in my trapezius muscle. It seems to come around every month or two for a few days. It's painful when I turn my head and just generally aches - sometimes the pain radiates downward into my upper back or toward my shoulder. Well...

Enjoy yourself!! I sometimes get a little giddy when my girls just go off with their dad for a couple of hours and I can be all alone! :) My oldest is going to a sleep over birthday party and I was thinking...hmmm, I'll get the little one off to sleep early and maybe spend some time enjoying...

I did it!! I did it!! It was my first time with this workout and I made it through the whole way. I feel great and am thankful to all of you for introducing me to this workout. I look forward to continuing to join all of you every month and, hopefully, I'll get to the point where I can add on...

I, too, want to say THANK YOU Cathe & SNM for all you do. You have gotten me in the best shape of my life so THANKS from the bottom of my heart!!! Alicia

Oh, your poor babies...and poor you! I'm good with sickness for about a day or two and then I want to start crying myself. :) Hang in there....you must be on the tail end of it now.

Hi there. I just got this workout the other day...and actually got it downloaded after some helpful hints here! Anyway, I hope to join in tomorrow for my first attempt with this workout. (But I think I might skip any add-on challenges my first time through) :) Alicia
